DREAMPHAZE 2

Vaporwave-Themed Combat Robot. currently sitting unfinished in my kitchen or somewhere idk lol

This version switched from a 4-bar lifter to a more simple chain-driven design. The drive motors remained drill motors, with wheels attached by threading on to the drill shafts.

A full breakdown of this design can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUNvwmbFsDA&t=111s

When I was attempting to prototype this with 3d printed parts, I came to a number of realizations

Flaws

  1. No way to attach the lids. How did I neglect this?!
  2. Impossible to remove front drive motors without also removing the pillow blocks that mount the weapon.
  3. Why were there two forks in the middle? This adds weight without any concrete reason to have them
  4. Robot would tip if attempting to lift something; See Melon_Brawler_2

Fall 2023 I decided to fix these flaws with Dreamphaze_3, thankfully I hadn't started fabricating yet.
